MATT LAWTON IN PARIS: Europe held off a US comeback on the final day to reclaim the Ryder Cup. Here, Sportsmail reflect on some of the best and worst action from a fascinating day's play.

Europe tasted victory in the 42nd Ryder Cup on Sunday, beating the United States 17½-10½ at Le Golf National. Sportsmail runs the rule over all 24 players and the two respective captains.

Many had underestimated Europe's chances heading into the Ryder Cup but this only fuelled their motivation even further, with Thomas Bjorn's side delivering a knockout punch on Sunday.
